Thinking it might be the rom... In the read-me, it says to use a japanese hard type rom that has not had the J2E translation patch added to it. Now, when I was looking for a rom of that type, the only thing I could find close to that was something named Final Fantasy IV (J) [h1].zip. Now, I am sort of new to this, and that was the only thing I could find that seemed like it could be a non-translated hard type version.
The "hardtype" ROM is the original game FF4. The "filename" you are referencing is a hacked FF4 making any run insanely easy.
Anyways, I tried using both Lunar IPS and SnesTool to patch it to that, as well as just a rom named Final Fantasy (J).zip. Also tried using znes and snesx9, but it came up as corrupt in both. Redownloaded the patch just incase and repeated the steps, and still nothing.
You need a good copy of the ROM to patch against. Use NSRT for your own good (it's in the utilities section of RHDN). It's also amusing that you are butchering the names of the emus.
Any clue as to what might be going on? I have patched other snes related things before, and this has not happened to me >.>... I'd give up by now, but I am very interested in this particular patch.
You're patching the wrong version, that's for sure. I'm not sure if this patch is expecting a header or not, but NSRT can deal with that if necessary.
